Getting started with network performance measurements

To get started with network performance measurements, please follow these simple steps.

1. Sign up for Netrounds

Sign up for a trial account at https://app.netrounds.com/system/signup/ completely free of charge. The trial account gives you access to five software Test Agents (with Medium license), which among other things are capable of TCP and UDP network performance measurements.

2. Download Netrounds Test Agents

The next step is to download, install, and configure Netrounds Test Agents. Since network performance measurements are made between Test Agents, you need to download and install two of them. Test Agents include active traffic generators for generating traffic within your network.

Under Test Agents in the Netrounds user interface, click the Download button.

Download Test Agents of the desired type. Follow the on-screen links for installation instructions, or refer to the links below.

Note: The connection will be initiated from the Test Agent you selected as client to the Test Agent selected as server. Therefore, if one agent is placed behind a NAT router, make sure you select that one as client.
